Every team’s best-case scenario in the 2020 NFL Draft
Chicago Bears: Move up for a corner
The Bears don’t currently have a first-round pick, but they should be looking to move into the late 20s to grab a potential starter at cornerback. Artie Burns just isn’t going to cut it. Coming away with an intriguing prospect like Jaylon Johnson could really give Chicago’s secondary a much-needed boost.
Detroit Lions: Trade down for a massive haul
The Lions are the draft’s first inflection point at No. 3. They don’t need a quarterback which means they should be talking to teams that are. Flipping the third pick to a franchise looking to add Tagovailoa or Justin Herbert is the right play for Detroit. Making that move and still coming out of the first round with Jeff Okudah is the dream scenario.
Green Bay Packers: Trade down and take advantage of WR depth
The Packers need to add another weapon or two for Aaron Rodgers in this draft. That doesn’t mean they have to use the No. 30 selection to make it happen. Instead, Green Bay should take advantage of the depth at receiver in this class. Sliding down out of Round 1 should allow the Packers to add two rookie wide receivers capable of growing into above average starters.
Minnesota Vikings: Move up for a corner
The Vikings secondary needs at least one starter from this year’s draft class. Unfortunately, the quality of cornerbacks really drops off after Okudah and C.J. Henderson. That’s why Minnesota should pay the price to move up and get Henderson to fill their biggest need.
